Exquisite Pulled Pork

Recipe View Prepare the Base: Pour 1 teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil into the bottom of a slow cooker. Arrange the thickly sliced onion over the oil to create a flavorful base. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Slow Cook the Pork: Place the pork butt roast on top of the sliced onions in the slow cooker. Cook on Low for 8 to 9 hours, or until the pork is incredibly tender and easily pulls apart. (Cook time: 8-9 hours)

Recipe View Shred the Pork: Once the pork is cooked, carefully transfer it to a large platter. Discard the onions and any accumulated liquid from the slow cooker. Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

Recipe View Sauté Aromatics: Heat 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes. (Cook time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Combine and Simmer: Add the shredded pork to the pot with the sautéed aromatics. Stir in the tomato paste, molasses, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all the pork is coated in the sauce. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View Simmer to Perfection: Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded together beautifully. (Cook time: 30 minutes)

Recipe View Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Exquisite Pulled Pork on your favorite rolls, tortillas, or as a delectable side dish. Garnish with fresh coleslaw or pickled onions for an extra burst of flavor.
